Hundreds Protest Black Man’s Slaying In SC

Pumping fists in the air and hoisting signs that read “Black Power” and “Justice for Anthony Hill,” a hundred or so demonstrators marched Saturday from a Newberry neighborhood park to the Newberry County Courthouse, rallying for a new day in race relations in this small town in central South Carolina.

Some came because, they say, local police pull black motorists over without cause, question black youths whenever they’re unsupervised and do not pursue crimes against blacks as vigorously as those against whites.
